Dear Editor
Why is Guyana so often absent from the top tables in Britain?
I am a member of the Caribbean Board which, currently, advises the British government on matters Caribbean. This week it held its first ever meeting outside London in Birmingham. The Round Table was packed with representatives of the Diaspora and six current Caribbean High Commissioners. No Guyanese representative.
This followed the even higher level meeting at the Houses of Parliament in November with Lords, Ladies and Members of Parliament. There 10 Caribbean High Commissioners were present and vocal. No Guyana.
In these very troubled and challenging times for the Caribbean and Guyana and with the UK relationship getting more fragile by the day, can we really afford to absent ourselves from so many top tables?
I think not.
